Which one are we playing with the dead seas or not?

Dead seas, although you guys don't actually have to do anything with the maps apart from make sure they're in the maps folder.

I'd intended to start the game tonight, but am knackered and about to get into bed. I'll do it tomorrow.

Excellent news on the dead oceans...us Abysians never were too fond that stuff they call "water".

Okay, the game's started! The first turn will have 48 hours on the clock in case of difficulties, and subsequent ones will have 24 hours.

How it works is that the server hosts either 24 hours after the last hosting or when everyone's turns are in, whichever is sooner. This means that the hosting time tends to gradually creep forwards. It's important to be aware of that. Remember you can check out the game status at any time at www.llamaserver.net .

I'd like to ask for a volunteer to admin the game. The admin has to do two things:

1) If a player asks for an extension or anything then do it (provided it's reasonable; a day or two is reasonable, if they are going away for a week they should get a sub). It's super easy via the interface on the website.

2) If the admin gets knocked out of the game, pass the password on to one of the remaining players.

It's a really easy, almost zero-work job, but it keeps me from having to carefully watch 20-odd game threads (which I tried for a bit, and it hurt).

Right, enjoy the game guys!

Thanks llamabeast for setting up the server and the games, that really runs great (as I can tell so far).

If nobody objects I can do the admin stuff.

As we are on the subject, I am away over the easter weekend, Thursday morning (20th) till Tuesday noon (25th), or 4+ days. If several other players are taking days off, we could stop the timer or I have to find a sub, provided I will be still in the game.

Anyways, the tribes of Marverni, used to fight it out amongst themselves are now hearing the call of the awaking god and are marching forward united, so beware and do not cross their path, as they have a hot temper. However, the advice of the druids is usually heeded, and these are wise and peaceful, unless provoked. If so, they will turn into formidable foes!

So everybody interested in trading, alliances or just a little chat, is welcome to contact me.

Thanks for picking up the admin side, appreciated.

Yeah I'm away for a few days at Easter 26,27,28 but I can get a sub no problem. I'm happy to go with the consensus about a break for Easter.

fantasma sent you a private message, outlining the advantage of Marverni becoming a vassal state lol

I think a break for easter is a great idea. I for one hope that we can all be flexible if people ask for a day or two.

Good gaming to all!

Object?
Who would be silly enough to do that? Lanka stamp!

All the possible solutions will be fine for the holy T'ien Ch'i.
